The board is expected to discuss launching an investigation into Ziegler and potentially suspending his pay or expelling him.

Florida GOP Urges Emergency Meeting on Ziegler Scandal and Moms for Liberty Split

Members of the Florida GOP are pushing for an emergency meeting to address the rape accusations against party chairman Christian Ziegler, who is facing calls to resign.

Despite pressure from high-profile allies, including Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Rick Scott, Ziegler has refused to step down. State Democrats and LGBTQ advocates are calling for both Ziegler and his wife, Bridget Ziegler, to resign from their public positions.

"Controversial Release: Accused Serial Rapist with Threats of Finger-Biting Set Free in Sweetheart Deal"

Bowen Turner, a suspected serial rapist accused of three brutal rapes and violating his bond conditions over 50 times, has been released from prison after serving only 483 days behind bars. Despite facing charges that could have resulted in up to 30 years in prison, Turner pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was sentenced to probation under the Youthful Offender Act. The case involving his first alleged victim was dropped, and the second victim, Dallas Stoller, died by suicide after being bullied for coming forward. Another victim, Chloe Bess, saw her case reduced to assault. Turner's release has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the criminal justice system's handling of sexual assault cases.
